Social Media Post Leads to Arrest

After multiple tips from citizens to the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) tip-line, the subject of a child exploitation investigation has been arrested in Montana.

The NSP issued an advisory seeking help from the public to locate 39 year old Jason Hornkohl after a warrant was issued for his arrest stemming from an investigation that included a search warrant on his home in Ogallala in May.

Hornkohl was taken into custody by authorities in Billings, Montana less than two hours after NSP requested public assistance, thanks to information provided by the public and social media posts.

Hornkohl has been arrested on charges related to possession of child pornography. Hornkohl will be returned to Keith County. The investigation remains ongoing.
